A short encyclopedia entry on the étaleuse, a machine that spreads wool, cotton or flax into an even sheet after the fibres have been cleaned by the batteur-éplucheur. The entry stresses its use in flax spinning, where a table of leather belts carries the combed flax to the drawing frame as a continuous ribbon. An engraving shows a flax-spinning étaleuse.
